>I may not post very often, but I give gifts

>Update 10/20 10:30 am — All gifts from me are now claimed, but the following folks now have to “pay it forward” so you might want to pay them a visit if you want a gift (though a couple of them have fairly locked/friends-only LiveJournals):

So there’s a meme-ish thing going around the interwebosphere right now, which I saw at Academic Cog. It goes like this:

By the end of the calendar year, I will send a tangible, physical gift to each of the first five people to comment here. The catch? Each person must make the same offer on her/his blog.

I will send you something that speaks of Rust Belt, its industries, and its history, which may sound not very lovely, but in the case of my female readers, I already know what I’m going to get and I swear to you no one fails to dislike this gift. (And it’s not prone to rust, I swear.) For any guys among the first five posters, I’ll have to think of something else, but I’ll come up with something good. We have very good local attraction gift shops here.

Caveats and disqualifications: Bullock, Fast Fizzy, and Virgo Sis (and any other potentially lurking family members and also dear friends who get twice-yearly boxes o’ goodies) are not eligible since I already get you gifts. If you want a gift and I don’t already know your real-life identity and address, you’ll have to e-mail me with it!

>Well, I’m already getting a gift from Hilaire, so I don’t know if I qualify. But IF I do, I will fill your remaining slot. And either way, I still have several unclaimed gifts over at ageofperfection.blogspot.com! So if anyone is interested (including you, Dr. V), swing on by!
